Ah I was aware they made surge protectors without battery backup, but I wrongly thought they were both just 'surge protectors' and wondered if OP somehow left out that his had a battery backup.
Surely you thought of this, but a lot of surge protectors have (used to have?) a battery backup for short outages. Keeps the PC on so you can save your data.
Group of accounts set up webcams outside of busy public restrooms. Records people's faces as they exit the bathroom and how long they were in there. Auto-ID's and sends email asking as part of a public poll if they agree with the statement "If you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear"
N: auto erase image and associated data
Y: auto publish bathroom exiting face and time spent in restroom to tiktok.
Let's really get the privacy conversation started.
Melatonin helps me stay and fall asleep, which is bad for me somewhat considering I can easily accidentally sleep 12 hours if my alarm goes off during a deep sleep cycle. But if I had something to help me fall asleep and maybe calm me for a few hours, that'd be ideal.
that's why we had the opioid epidemic and not an opioid pandemic...
Maybe. But I think there are also just a lot of people that are not dealing with enough trauma and mental pain (pain-killers/type not specific) that their inner voice stops them from seeking it out.
My dad had a friend with brain cancer. He was in hospice many years ago and knew that I had struggled with addiction. He said he had received hydrocodone and oxycodone after surgeries before (he'd had many) but they always made him nauseous and feel like shit. Then at the end when he was in hospice they gave him a fentanyl patch. He said "MyName, WOW, I FINALLY UNDERSTAND how people can get addicted to this stuff now. This is remarkable!"
Off-topic story: shortly after he passed I was looking for ways to painlessly "catch the bus" on the internet (I'm fine now, this was many moons ago) and bawling my eyes out as I thought about my family and what I'd be putting them through. Suddenly, the piano next to me blasted as if someone had pounded 10 of the keys at once as hard as they possibly could. No pets, no other people home.
I've been through a lot since then and am happy to say I am doing fine now, but that's one of those many WTF moments that turned me from a staunch materialistic atheist into a more spiritually understanding person.
That and the DMT. Only slightly riffing, DMT came way before that.
Riffing. There's a word used far too little, I hope I remember it later so I can use it later. 'joking around', 'kidding' 'just joshing'... I need more riffing in my life.
It depends completely on the plant, the processing (if any), and other factors. I know nothing about lemongrass but St Johns Wort for example is GABAergic, acts on serotonin and dopamine, and under controlled trials shows clinical significance.
Placebo is one of those factors and it can be a MASSIVE factor. Conversely, nocebo, the opposite of placebo shows that if patients do not believe something will work, even though it's shown highly significant clinical success, chances of it working on them are far less.
When you see a RADAR dish and it's round and symmetrical similar to our ears... I have to wonder (surely the answer is yes) if any of the worlds governments have worked on non-RADAR low-noise detection systems of above-ground (stealth aircraft) or under-ground boring using an owl skull as the reference material. I don't know how it would work in busy cities, because afaik owls stay far away from noisy cities, but at more remote points scattered around the coasts and borders I bet something similar could work.
This explains the 4 different "Hey! I got your number at the XX meetup." and "Hey, let's go play golf tomorrow!" type texts ove gotten this week. Trying to validate info.
EDIT: RTFA (says to myself)... this just makes it harder for shell companies to setup shop in the US and get blocks of US numbers to make VOIP calls/texts from. Someone will at least be held accountable, so they have to burn people (in jail) or get fined etc in their home country.
There's an "allowed" 3rd party app called Relay Pro that I sometimes use. Allowed because they were not using much API, supposedly (and also allowed to show ads by reddit now 🤔) Not sure if any others.
Well, at least they have ethics. Ethnics, maybe not. But ethics for sure.
